For Seattle month, we expand outward to hear the story an eccentric man some would say is the Bilbo Baggins of the PNW, the Gary Busey of the Wilderness, the Forrest Gump of Middle Earth. From finding treasure to walking around barefoot, we listen to one man's take of living in the wilderness in The Legend of Mick Dodge on National Geographic. S02E01 || Theme Song: "Crooked Mile (slinky rock mix)" by Hans Atom || Outro: "I dunno" by grapes
25 years ago, Mick Dodge walked away from the modern world, leaving civilization behind to live alongside nature's wonders in the Olympic Peninsula. Following a primal instinct present throughout generations of his family, Mick ventured deep into the Hoh Rainforest, making his home in the trees and hidden in the moss. Experience the wild life of Mick Dodge, a quirky character whose unique brand of Zen comes from living by his own code – off the land and off the grid.
